Client: Missing Piece Group

The Brief:

• Ian Hunter (Mott the Hoople) has a new album coming out in the fall, and a site redesign was needed.
• "Current Site" was dated and maintained by hand.
• Client wanted to take advantage of site organization and simplicity afforded by a WordPress back-end.
• Client wanted Ian's image to be front and center, in a style similar to the sites featured on this list of "25 of the Best Band Websites"

Project Notes:

• Selected the Motion theme, which I heavily customized to make Ian's photo shoot prominent throughout and add functionality.
• Moved over (and reformatted) a large amount of content from the old site, which was coded by hand
• Added Social Functionality (Facebook widget, Twitter widget)
• Installed and configured BandsInTown widget to pull Tour Dates from BandsInTown.com (where client keeps them updated)
